I would argue with you, but I've already written a 20 page research paper on this at the same University and under the same professors who created Freepress and SaveTheInternet.com. I've cited everything if you'd like to refute any part of it. I'm not sure where you're getting your facts, but your story is pretty far from the truth. The government did not create the telecom monopoly that we have now, they only failed to prevent it (can you blame them? The Big 3 all lobby Congress). It was the government who started all of this back with ARPA, so I wouldn't point the finger at government because they supported the research efforts to create the Internet. Point the finger at the corporations who are refusing to build a better, faster network (even though their revenues support it) and practice redlining. The faster your speeds, the worse off their old business models are. I assure you that local municipalities have the interest of the people at hand when they build these networks out, after all, the people collectively decide to build something like this before it gets approval. And they would most likely not have access to it any other way. http://jtame05.wordpress.com/2008/10/21/network-neutrality-word97/ http://jtame05.wordpress.com/2008/10/21/network-neutrality-w...
